anyone have any idea how long it takes for a stock Evo to go from 60-125mph? Most of the races takes place on the freeways and the magazines post these times in one of the sections monthly. If im not mistaken a stock E46 M3 and current 911 turbo does it in about 11-13 seconds...also have seen some modded 4 bangers do it under 10 seconds.

 

A 5spd CRV goes from 60-110 in bout 20 seconds. lol ^.^...........nvm..i never timed that..


lol But i gave an RA a run for his money. ;p

 

It takes be about exactly 7 seconds to go from 60mph to 120mph starting at 60mph in 4th and ending at 120mph in 4th gear... however, I have no idea how long it'll take a stock evo to do this.

 

Ok than measure your moded evo's.This test result=power

 

Have you tested 60-120 starting in 3rd?

 

Well, one measurement is what we did the other night. I was driving the CLK 55 and my friend was driving my Vishnu stage 1+ EVO (It has 275 AWHP on DD). It was around 1:00 AM and a weekday. Starting from 80 MPH, the EVO pulled around 2 car lenghts on my 55 (we were around 110+ mph). My 55 was at 4th gear. Around 120 or so my 55 shifted to 5th, was passing the EVO, and I'm pretty sure my EVO was already at 5th at that time. The 55 pulled away from the EVO by 3 or 4 car lengths which at that time my 55 was pegged at 155 but my digital speedo was registring 160 mph (something to do with my larger diameter tires).
My friend told me that my EVO was pulling very hard up to 125 but somehow it was not the same pull after 125. 120 to 150 was not as fast how he saw my 55 passes the EVO. He stop at around 150 mph because he saw the 55 was way ahead.
We wanted to repeat it by exchanging cars but we decided not to because we figured we got lucky we didn't get radared at those speeds.

 

The jump from 4th to 5th is very large, and that shift occurs right around 120. That would explain the change in advantage at that point. When running through the gears in my car, that 4-5 shift really bothers me because it seems like too much of a jump.

Tell me about it. I think the 5th gear on an EVO sucks. Plus the aero dynamics is not as sleek. I wonder how the six speeds are? I could imagine how the E55's, M5's, and other Autobahn monsters pull.

 

The 10.5 housing, and cams help the power drop off that occurs when shifting from 4th to 5th gear at 120 mph.

My EVO was running 272/272 HKS cams but no 10.5 housing.

 

6 spd can only make it to 111 in 4th, and then 5th sucks. I tried shifting to 5th in the 1/4-mile, and I lost 4mph on my traps. 5th is just too tall and doesn't pull well at all...or at least it didn't for me even starting above 5k and being at full boost immediately.

 

They don't really help the power drop off, it's still there. It's just that the whole thing is elevated to a higher power level, so there is still reasonable pull in 5th gear.

When I put my cams in, I did pulls from 40-90mph. I started out at 9.1 then after some s-afc and cam gear adjustments I got down to a 7.0. I then got the car tuned by Al and put down 50whp more than my first run (boost leaks). But I destroyed my tranny and never got to try it again.
